Of course, nothing came of these investigations (other than the foundations of modern chemistry), but it turns out all Boyle, ...

CERN's ALICE experiment turned lead into gold—briefly—reviving alchemists' old dreams with modern nuclear physics.

The ancient dream of turning lead into gold is now a reality – but it’s not quite what the alchemists might have hoped for.

Scientists at Europe’s famous particle collider briefly created gold ions from lead in a modern twist on the alchemical goal ...

Politics and science combined to wipe $225 an ounce off the price of gold in three weeks thanks to war zone peace talks and ...

Scientists with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, were able to convert lead into gold ...
